1. What was the first and last comic issue you read?
This is the first comic I remember reading. I’d know who Spider-Man was and I know I’d seen some comics before this. But I remember seeing this cover in the grocery store and making it a point to buy it.
Latest was Invincible Ultimate Collection volume 10. I’d read 1-9 and for some reason took a forever break from the book. Figured I was due to give everything a reread instead of trying to jump back in. 2 volumes to go.
2. What is your favourite comic storyline?
I don’t have a solid answer here. Near the top would be Kingdom Come, Knightfall, various Invincible and Fables stories, Astro City’s “confessions” always stuck with me, Preacher’s “Until the End of the World,” Maximum Carnage. I don’t remember which ”Emerald” tag they give it. But the one where Hal Jordan loses his shit and turns heel. And it’s not a storyline. But there’s one really cool either Batman or detective comics book where Joker gets Robin around Christmas time and has him tied up in the passenger seat of a car while he’s off joyriding and doing all kinds of mayhem. That was fun. And while not a writer, I would check out books that Alex Ross worked on.
3. Who is your favourite character of alltime?
Leaning towards Spider-Man. Even though Spidey books aren’t my favorite
4. Avengers or Justice League (Marvel or DC)?
Never got into either team books really. For marvel vs dc I always liked marvel when I was younger, but I’ve read more dc in the last decade between the two. But I think that’s because dc does their trade books a bit better.
5. Favourite Writers?
Ennis for Preacher and The Boys. I was way into Preacher when it was a new book. Hadn’t seen anything like it before. I tried to get in to Crossed but it mostly sucks. Just shock reading for the most part.
Kirkman because Invincible is fantastic, Battle Pope was fun, and Walking Dead was great for a while. I finished the book, but like the show I got tired of it the longer it went on.
Bendis, select Snyder, Alan Moore obviously had some great work, whoever was behind Chew, such a fun and unique book.
